Broken Promises

Take a ride on a ferris wheel
At county fairs round down in Bakersfield
I like to ride in the rodeo from time to time, yes I do
Money comes and the money's gone
It's the same old line in a different old song
I wanna go on home but I don't know when

Even though when the sun comes out
I won't dry up all the rain
I understand broken promises get broken again

Headlights move all around my room
I close my eyes daylights creeping on in
I like to think about you from time to time, yes I do
And the picture fades with each years gone by
Pour another drink, tell another white lie
I'm gonna pack my bags, it's time to move on

x2
Even though when the sun comes out
I won't dry up all the rain
I understand broken promises get broken again

Blacktop moves underneath the sun
As the bus heads south through another Texas town
It's time to go to work and make my pay, yes it is
Oh no, no, no and I think back on all my sinking ships
Smile comes through these tired old lips
You to say to me, been lonely too long
Yeah no no no

x2
Even though when the sun comes out
I won't dry up all the rain
I understand broken promises get broken again
